Loggings from the Radio Shack, Fredriksfors August 8-9

After quite a while of ”non activity” when my (very) few visits to Freriksfors had given nothing was it of course without much hope I went out on August 8th. When ”on the spot” there was not much to give hope either. Religious WTWW shifted frequency from the 31mb to ”49”. New to me, but ”Scriptures of America” turned out not to be my favourite program..
Not even the Brazilian 60 mb stations were heard with a decent signal. However, both Radio Pio XII and Radio Bethel in the 49 mb were ok.
At 01.30 some common La Plata (950,1070, 1190) but they weakened well before dawn. The same with a few Brazilians (Globo 1220 best).
Around 02.30, however, some Peruvian stations came through making the night worth noticing. But only for a few minutes and quite weak. When I changed frequencies to a little lower part of the band, they were all gone already.

Our listening shack

Welcome to the Radio Shack blog! We are some radio enthusiasts who share a DX shack in Hälsingland, some 350 km's north of Stockholm. Most of us are members of both Delsbo Radioklubb and the Arctic Radio Club (which specializes in broadcast band/MW DX-ing) and we will publish loggings, news and other radio related items here. Contributions are highly welcome - just mail info@rock.x.se if you would like to share any news or loggings. And please feel free to leave a comment.
